No Cause for Indictment

An Autopsy of Newark

Ronald Porambo 1972 425p 5 x 8

The definitive account of the buildup, chaos, and aftermath of one of the biggest urban riots in US history: the 1967 Newark riots. Forty-five years ago, Newark’s black majority erupted in revolt and were ruthlessly put down by the police and National Guard units. When other reporters were too afraid, Ronald Porambo walked the streets of Newark and took four years to research and write the whole story. Its publication resulted in two attempts on his life.
